This ‘How to make a Collagraph’ video is for printmaking beginners, for teachers whose students are beginners, and hobbyists.
Follow my simple steps and explanations to learn how to make your first collagraph or use my video with your young art students in the art classroom.
Це відео «Як зробити колаграф» призначене для початківців графічної графіки, для вчителів, чиї учні є початківцями, і для любителів.
Дотримуйтесь моїх простих кроків і пояснень, щоб навчитися зробити свій перший колаграф або використовувати моє відео з вашими молодими студентами мистецтва в класі мистецтва.
Playfulness, discovery, and a sense of experimentation are important with this project. Collagraphy provides great opportunities for young artists and students to discover the creative versatility of relief printing.
У цьому проекті важливі грайливість, відкриття та відчуття експерименту. Колаграфія надає чудові можливості молодим художникам і студентам відкрити для себе творчу багатогранність рельєфного друку.
Teacher Notes:
This is a great unit for teaching elements such as texture, line, mass, and light-and-dark / tonal values. It balances using prior learning (collage) with new learning (relief printing) and is rich in playful discovery opportunities. I find it suitable for children aged 10 years and upwards as a first experience of picture-making with relief printmaking; and I teach the unit in two 90-minute lessons in consecutive weeks.
By focusing on the discovery aspects, children should feel free to experiment and to make mistakes and have things ‘not work out’ without jeopardy. I try to instil in my students the idea that artists often try things for the first time to discover what might be possible, what works, and what doesn’t work. So, in their first attempts at something new, artists don’t judge themselves - they play and trust that the process will reveal things they would like to use in the future.
I use this unit as an introductory discovery session, with the expectation that we will then work on a unit where we plan a collagraphy / relief print ‘artwork’ based on what we learned through our first attempts.
